Yes, it's an updated version.

It should be. Does the problem persist if you copy all files over your
real filesystem (ie: don't run mkisofs on a unionfs dir)?

For instance, this is the mkisofs command used in CompressAndBuildISO,
from the BuildLiveCD package:

mkisofs -R -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table Output/ISO > $iso_name
